CHAPTER XXI.


Thanks to my darling's devotion. to
her unwearied after tons, to her fore
sight and care of me, was strong
enough to leave my cabin on the third
day following my restoration to con-
=sciouSneSS.
During that time many inquiries
were made after my health BY the pas
-sengers. and Mary told me that the
greatest curiosity prevailed fore and
aft to see me. So misfortune had made
a little ephemeral hero of me. and this,
perhaps, was one stroke of compensa-
ztiou which 1 should have been very
willing to dispense with.
The second officer of the ship. man
of about my height and build, had
very kindly placed his wardrobe at nv
disposal. but all that had chosen to
borrow from him was scme linen.
which. indeed, 1 stood greatly in need
~of; ous my clothes, though rather the
worse for water, were, in my opin-
ion. quite good enough for me to wear
until l should be able to buy > new out

Attwelve o'clock. then, on the third
day. rose and leisurely dressed my

whose arm TO lean on l preferred to any
zones else.
She came to the cabin presently. and
when she entered l folded her in nv
arms with SO deep feeling of happi-
mess and love and gratitude in me that
i had no words to speak te her.
1t was when released her that she

MARTYRS OF SCIENCE.

Progress ~ Every Prescriptions First Net
with R.dieule. Then Persecution.
Calico, Columbus. Jcnner and the
many authors who have had their first
manuscripts returned. are among those
of the worlds benefactors whose early
dreams met with ridicule. A book
called 1.-The Martyrs of Science" shows
what true men have suffered in the
way of human progress There is
something in the popular mind that
clings to tradition and custom, and
holds the progressive to be impossible,
and therefore ridiculous. Progress
first meets with riaicule. then persecn-
ton. A recent number of the South
and West has several illustrations to
the point. followed by some good
thoughts.
When the first train made its trip
over George Stephenson railroad, be-
tween Liverpool and Manchester. all
the stage companies held indignation
meetings 1t was certain, to many
people, that tcamsters would starve,
and the market for horses be ruined.
When the first reaper was put tc
work in an English wheat-field. the
excited siekle-reapers captured and
burnt it.
When the binders were first in
troduced into Western Illinois, the
haryest-hands s7crnt many, and we
were compelled to guard the machines
with shot-guns-
Yet we now know that all these
things are tsr the good of all. laborine
people not excepted. Every labor-sav-
ing machine is also ; la5orer-savinh
machine. The working-man is the
chief consumer of the products oi
work: this is . fact he should never
forget, and because of it he lives much
better than his father lived.

How the Bntfons Got There

Everybody of an observant turn of
mind has noticed the two or three buttons
on the cuffs of military coats but few
know the origin and reason of this Gus
TOM They were first worn by the sol
diers in the English army The first uni
form coats of the English army had no
buttons on the cuffs, and the soldiers used
to draw the cuff of their coat across their
nose and mouth on every occasion when
pocket han 'ferchief or napkin might
have been called into requisition. AS q
matter of course the cuff became shiny
ard defaced. Punishment and reprimand
were tried, bit they did rot stop this
habit, and at last a board Of officers met,
and they suggested the buttons on the
sleeves, which was adopted, They were
first worn on the top of the Sc We. but
they were moved backward as the hand
kerchief was moved forward. Today the
uniform coat of every nation h buttons on
the sleeves or cuffs; and the above is a true
and authentic account of the origin of
the custom. And it is with pride than we
announce that the first innovation on
this Gu tom in the new uniform coat for
petty officers in the United States navy,

Great Britain, and in this country, the
same position of the new moon is Just as
confidently held 30 indicae not foul but
fair weather. Concerning this notion,
Southey wrote, in a letter from klswick,
in 1928, as follows: Poor Littledale has

rains which have prevailed for the last
six weeks by theory which will proba-
bly, be as new to you as il ist1 me.

destroyed by the late cyclone has been re-

The wire il in working order and infor-
nation has been received relative to the
great damage done by the cyclone.
About $40, 900 worth Of property was
destroyed, and during Its prevalence the
lives Of the residents Of that portion Of
the coast were in imminent peril. The
wind registered ninety-six miles an hour.
The ocean rose to an alarming height
and swept over the narrow neck Of land
into Pimlico Sound, carrying everything
before it with almost irresistible force.
Houses were swept from their founda-
tions, sails Of vessels were torn into
shreds and the vessels were dismasted and
dashed upon the beach. Many families
were rendered homeless and took to their
boats rs the last resource. The situation
was one which it is hoped will never oc-
cur again. Sand and water were flying
through the air and large limbs Of trees
were borne along on the wings of the gale
threatening death and destruction to
all in their path. After the gale the
beach was lined with wreckage showing
the damage sustained to vessels of Hat
teras during the storm. Many persons
we're injured.
